Synopsis
Stanislavski remains, even forty years after his death, the dominant influence on actor training today. The 'Stanislavski System' is still the only comprehensive theory of acting we possess.
Yet the writings are not always easy to read. They need to be set in context. The aim of this book is to demonstrate the roots of the System in the tradition of Russian realism and in Stanislavski's own life as an artist; to show how its elements were discovered, analysed and defined, and to suggest its relevance for performance today.
